Ingredients
- 1 packet (3.5 oz) frozen açaí berry puree (unsweetened)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries
- ⅓ cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- ⅓ cup granola (preferably low-sugar)
- 2 tablespoon raw unsalted almonds, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon raw chia seeds
Instructions
- 1
Remove 1 packet (3.5 oz) of frozen açaí berry puree from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly — it should still be frozen but just pliable enough to break apart.
- 2
Add the softened açaí, 0.5 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 0.25 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of raw honey to a blender. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, using a spatula to scrape down the sides once if needed, until the mixture is smooth and thick with a soft-serve ice cream consistency — it should be too thick to drink through a straw but thick enough to hold toppings without sinking.

Pour the smoothie mixture into a large bowl, then use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface into an even layer — this creates the ideal base for toppings.
- 4
Arrange toppings in distinct sections across the bowl for visual appeal. Scatter 0.33 cup of fresh blueberries in one section, slice 0.33 cup of fresh strawberries and arrange in another section, sprinkle 0.33 cup of granola in a third section, and finish with 2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped raw almonds, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened coconut flakes, and 1 teaspoon of raw chia seeds distributed across the top.

Serve immediately with a spoon. Eat right away while the açaí base is creamy and the granola is still crunchy — the toppings will begin to soften as they absorb moisture from the bowl.
